All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was able to enjoy the sightseeing bus until my flight around 3:00 PM. They can drop you off at the airport along the way, but it's not too far from the bus terminal to the airport, so I recommend this for your last day.

15:00頃のフライトまで観光バスで楽しめました。途中で空港下車も対応してくれますが、バスターミナルまで戻っても空港まではそんなに遠くないので最終日におすすめします。

I misunderstood that bike rentals were included in the activities on Taketomi Island, which caused some confusion upon arrival. I wish there had been an explanation at least when issuing the tickets. It seems that other customers received an explanation.

竹富島での過ごし方にレンタサイクルとあるので、含まれてると勘違いしてついてからゴタゴタしました。せめてチケット発行の時に説明がほしかったです。
他のお客様には説明があったようです。

I had a tour with Aika, Riki, and Hinata for stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, snorkeling, and a night tour. They provided thorough lectures and shared their knowledge about Miyako Island, allowing me to learn more about the island and enjoy my experience. Thank you very much.

サップ、カヌーとシュノーケリング、ナイトツアーをあいかさん、りきさんひなたさんにツアーしてもらいました。丁寧なレクチャーや宮古島についての知識を教えてもらい、宮古島について詳しく知って楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました。

In a word, it was amazing! I was guided by Mr. Ando, and I had a very enjoyable time.

I went on July 4th, and the weather was favorable, making it easy to walk. I was able to enjoy various shapes of cedar trees, including Jomon Sugi, Daiou Sugi, and Wilson Stump. The story about the village that used to exist on the island was also fascinating. It's surprising that they receive money from the government to cut down trees. The water supply points located throughout the area were incredibly helpful. Even though it wasn't sunny, the cold water pouring over my head and neck in the heat was pure bliss.

I think it's better to have a guide. While young people might manage to traverse the path without difficulty, the round trip on the so-called "Trolley Road," which takes about two hours each way (a total of four hours), can honestly get boring. It's just a flat path to walk on. The most enjoyable part would be walking while chatting with the guide during this time. It was such a wonderful experience that I want to go again with the same plan and the same guide.

P.S. I got gastroenteritis from eating raw chicken in Kagoshima, so I couldn't write my experience for a while. You should definitely never eat chicken raw.

一言で言うと最高でした！
安藤さんにガイドしていただきましたが，大変楽しい時を過ごせました．

7/4に行きましたが，天気にも恵まれ歩きやすかったです．
縄文杉をはじめ大王杉，ウィルソン株など，様々な形の杉を堪能できました．
また，島に以前存在した集落？も興味深い話でした．国からお金をもらって木を伐るとは，驚きです．そして随所にある給水地点にすごく助けられました．日が当たらないとはいえ暑い中，頭や首から被る冷たい水は幸せの一言です．

また，ガイドさんつけた方がいいと思います．
若人であれば難なく踏破は可能でしょうが，トロッコ道と呼ばれる，行き返りの各2時間ずつ(たしか計4時間ほど)は正直飽きます．ただ平たんな道を歩くだけです．この時間にガイドさんと話に花を咲かせながら歩くのが一番楽しいでしょう．
もう一度同じプランで同じガイドさんで行きたいと思うほど，素晴らしい体験でした．

p.s.鹿児島での鳥刺しに当たり胃腸炎になって体験談がなかなか書けませんでした．絶対に鳥は生で食っちゃいけません．

Thank you, tour guide.
I think it must have been tough to handle two countries.

However, the explanations in Chinese were too long.
If a three-minute explanation in Japanese turns into thirty minutes in Chinese, it becomes annoying.

I can't understand what is being said, but I believe there is quite a bit of small talk.

I hope for improvements.

添乗員さん。ありがとうございました。
二カ国がでの対応、大変だったと思います。

ただ、中国語での説明が長すぎます。
日本語で３分の説明を中国語で ３０分も話されては、うるさいです。
　
何を話されてるかわかりませんが、相当雑談ごあると思います。

改善願います。

It wasn't just a regular stargazing tour; it was my first time doing photography. This time, we had moonlight, so the focus was on capturing the moon, and it turned out great in its own way. I quickly set it as my LINE wallpaper 😃

However, the path to the shooting location was very dark, which made me a bit anxious. It's unavoidable since we can't shoot in bright places, but it was a little unsettling 😖

普通に星空を観察するツアーでは無く、フォト撮影は初めてでした。今回は月明かりがあり月メインの撮影でしたが、これはこれでありですね。
早速、LINEの壁紙に設定しました😃

ただ、撮影場所に向かうまでの道のりがとても暗くて、若干不安になりました。明るい場所だと撮影出来ないので仕方ないですが😖

I felt very relaxed while riding the water buffalo cart and listening to the sanshin.
I enjoyed a leisurely stroll on Yubu Island.
On Taketomi Island, I couldn't get a grasp of the schedule and only wandered around the port for a bit before returning, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied, but I think it was good that I was able to return to Ishigaki Island early.

水牛車に乗って三線を聞きながらとてものんびりとした気分でとても癒されました。
由布島ではゆっくり散歩気分で散策が楽しかったです。
竹富島では、段取りが把握できずに港の周りを少しだけ散策して直ぐに港に戻り少し不完全燃焼でしたが、石垣島に早く戻れたのはよかったと思っています。

Since my trip was mainly in Sapporo and I didn't rent a car, I really wanted to visit Asahiyama Zoo, so I decided to sign up for a tour this time. I was unfamiliar with Hokkaido and worried about transfers, and since it was summer and hot, being able to take a bus from Sapporo while resting was really comfortable for my body.

I got tired from walking around the zoo, but it was great that I could just sit back and relax on the way back without any worries. I returned right on time without any delays. I look forward to joining another tour the next time I visit Hokkaido.

札幌メインの旅行だったためレンタカーしておらず、どうしても旭山動物園は行きたかったので今回ツアーに申し込むことにしました。北海道は不慣れで乗り換えが心配だったのと夏で暑かったので札幌からバスで寝ながら行けたのはすごく体が楽でした。
動物園で歩き疲れましたが帰りもなんの心配もせずに座ってるだけで帰れたのでとても良かったです。
特に遅れることもなく時間通りに戻れました。また北海道に行く際は何かのツアーでまたよろしくお願いします。

I scanned the QR code on the card with my name that was given to me earlier to enter. I was excited from the very beginning. ANA is the airline I'm most familiar with, so during this visit, I felt like I got a little glimpse behind the scenes. I realized that the people working in this industry are amazing, as they handle their challenging daily tasks while undergoing such training.

先に渡された自分の名前入りのカードに記載のQRコードをかざして入場。
最初からワクワクし通しでした。
ANAは一番馴染みのエアラインなので、今回の見学で、ほんの少し裏側を覗けた感じで、普段からこんな訓練を受けながら、日常の大変な業務をこなされているんだな、とこの業界で働く方々はすごいなぁと思いました。

Even my husband, who usually isn't comfortable being photographed, was able to enjoy the shoot thanks to the friendly encouragement from the photographer. I hadn't really thought much about poses, but I was grateful for all the suggestions we received. We got so many wonderful photos under the starry sky, and I'm really glad we made the reservation. I also made great use of the recommended spots and restaurants that the photographer shared with us! I definitely want to recommend this to others.

普段写真を撮られるのが苦手な夫でもカメラマンさんの気さくなお声かけで楽しく撮影することが出来ました。
ポーズもなんとなくしか考えていなかったのですが沢山ご提案いただけて有難かったです。満点の星空の下でめちゃくちゃ素敵なお写真たくさん撮っていただいたので、本当に予約してよかったと思います。カメラさんに教えていただいたオススメスポットやご飯屋さんもかなり活用させていただきました！これは絶対周りにも勧めたいと思いました。

Although there were slippery slopes and dirty areas along the way, it was a fantastic tour that my first-grade daughter enjoyed without fear, finding glowing scorpions and recognizing constellations! The guide was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island and various creatures, making sure all participants had a great time. On the way back, he diligently searched for creatures, and thanks to him, we were able to see a large habu snake! I highly recommend this for families with children!

道中、滑る斜面や汚れる場所もありますが、小１の娘でも怖がることなく、光るサソリや、知ってる星座を見つけて大満喫のツアーでした！
ガイドさんも、西表島のことや、生き物のことを色々教えてくれて、参加者が楽しめるよう配慮してくれる方で本当に楽しめました。帰り道の車でもどこかに生き物がいないか一生懸命探してくれて、そのおかげで大きいハブが見れました！
子ども連れでもおすすめです!

The weather forecast wasn't great, but it only rained for a moment, and it was wonderful. The driver, although a professional, drove very smoothly and it was comfortable. Thank you very much.

天気予報が良くなかったのですが、雨は一瞬だけで、最高でした。
ドライバーさんはプロとはいえ、運転がとてもスムーズで、快適でした。
ありがとうございました。

I applied for a similar tour in Japan, but it was canceled due to a lack of participants. I really wanted to go to Takachiho Gorge, so I signed up for this tour, knowing it was aimed at overseas travelers.

There wasn't much time for lunch, so I bought an onigiri bento at Hakata Station to bring along. Eating and drinking were allowed on the bus except for ice cream. It was great to visit various places. However, be prepared to walk a lot and climb stairs; it can be tough in the summer! Expect to sweat.

The guide was multilingual, but the Japanese explanation was at the end, so there were moments when I thought, "Huh?" regarding the meeting times. However, it was fine to ask questions if something was unclear.

Hearing the explanations for overseas travelers made me realize how they interpret and present things. The guide apologized in Japanese, saying, "Since this is aimed at overseas travelers, there might be some differences to make it easier to understand, and I'm sorry for the Japanese participants."

This time, the guide was really great. They were cheerful, and their speaking style was soft. There were some troubles during the tour, but they handled everything diligently, and I had a very positive impression.

日本の同じようなツアー申し込んだんですが、人が集まらないため催行されず
どうしても高千穂峡に行きたくて、海外の方向けを承知の上でこちらのツアーを申し込みました
途中、ランチの時間はあまりなく、博多駅でおにぎり弁当買って持ち込みました
バス内はアイス以外飲食OK
色々回れてとっても良かったです
ただし、とにかく、歩くし、階段登るし、夏は大変！汗だく覚悟でどうぞ
多言語対応のガイドさんでしたが、日本語での案内は最後なので、集合時間など、ちょっと、ん？って思う時はありましたが、分からないことは聞けば大丈夫です
多言語のため、海外の人への説明を聞いて、ああ、こんな風に解釈されて紹介するのね、って思いましたが、日本語で「海外の方向けだから、分かりやすくするためちょっと違うところもあるだろうけど、日本人の方たちごめんなさい」ってガイドさんがあやまってました
今回、ガイドさんがとても良かった。明るく、喋り方はソフト。今回、トラブルがありましたが、一生懸命対応してくれて、全く問題なく好感が持てました

I was worried because it was hot, but the mist came out and the drive was enjoyable. An hour felt quick. The one-hour drive in Tokyo was nice, so I also participated in Osaka, and that was the right choice. I want to enjoy it again somewhere else.

暑いので心配してましたが ミストも出たし ドライブは面白かったです。
一時間が早く感じました。
東京都内の一時間ドライブも良かったので 大阪も参加したのですが正解でした。また どこかで楽しみたいです。

Since I was going to Ishigaki Island, I wanted to explore the surrounding islands as well, so I signed up for a tour. I was satisfied because we were able to efficiently visit each island.

折角石垣島に行くのであれば離島巡りもしたいなと思い申し込みました。効率よく各島を巡れたので満足です。

I had developed an interest in Hashima Island after watching a drama. I learned that tours were the only way to visit, so I signed up. The explanations were easy to understand, and although it was very hot, I was glad that we could see everything efficiently.

ドラマを見て興味が湧いていた端島。
観光はツアーのみと知り申し込みました。
解説がわかりやすくとても暑かったのですが効率よく観れてよかったです。

I was able to see the mangrove forest, ox carts, and Taketomi Island quite efficiently. I was unsure whether to rent a car and explore on my own, but I’m glad I didn’t because I wouldn’t have been able to do it as efficiently.

マングローブ林、牛車、竹富島をかなり効率良く見れました。自分でレンタカー借りて回るのと、迷いましたが、こんなに効率的には回れなかったので、良かったです。

The tour of the maintenance facility was a unique experience, making it the perfect outing for aviation enthusiasts.

The small group size allowed for a cohesive atmosphere during the visit, which was also a plus.

整備場の見学とは、またひと味違った見学ツアーとなっていて、航空業界ファンにとっては最高の体験となりました。

少人数制なので、まとまった雰囲気で見学出来るのも良かったです。

I was able to visit all the sightseeing spots I wanted very smoothly. Thank you for introducing me to a recommended restaurant for lunch. I will definitely use your services again when I plan to visit Kumamoto!

とてもスムーズに希望する観光地をすべて訪れることができました。
お昼ご飯もおすすめのお店を紹介していただき、ありがとうございました。
また熊本訪れる予定があるときは利用させていただきます！

In the morning, we were picked up by the hotel, marking the start of our day. We took a boat from Euglena, navigating up the mangrove river while enjoying views of the various islands. Our main goal was to ride in an ox cart, swaying gently while listening to the island songs played on the sanshin. The day continued leisurely to Yubu Island and then to Taketomi Island, making it a truly fulfilling experience.

朝ホテルにお迎えが来てくれて一日の始まりでした。ユーグレナから船に乗って、各島々を見ながらマングローブの川を遡上…1番の目的の牛車に揺られ、三線の音で島唄を聞きながら、ゆっくりと由布島へそして竹富島へと続いた1日はとっても充実感あふれるものでした。

Since it is a popular course, I think it would normally be difficult for us to take our time and take photos by ourselves. However, thanks to the guide leading us at a comfortable pace, we were able to take photos at the scenic spots along the way (like Wilson Cedar) without being with other guests. During the trekking, the guide also took photos for us like a photographer, allowing us to walk without worrying about taking pictures, which I believe helped us reach our destination, Jomon Cedar, faster. Of course, at Jomon Cedar, we were able to enjoy and take photos freely in a place with hardly anyone around. The guide did not rush us on the way back, and we were able to fully savor the experience. We were also able to progress at our own pace on the way back, which was comfortable. The guide was knowledgeable, and the explanations along the way were enjoyable. I would definitely like to request this guide again next time.

人気コースなので、本来であれば自分たちだけでゆっくりと写真を撮ることが難しいケースであったと思います。ですが、無理のないレベルの早いペースで案内していただいたことで、道中の写真スポット（ウィルソン杉など）ではほかのお客さんと一緒にならずゆったりと写真を撮ることができました。トレッキング中もガイドさんがカメラマンの様に写真をとってくれましたので、途中の撮影を気にせずに歩くことができ目的の縄文杉までの着時間を早められたと思います。もちろん縄文杉のところでも、ほとんど人がいないところで自由にゆっくりと鑑賞＆写真撮影ができました。ガイドさんから帰りをせかされる事もなく、十分に感動を味わう事ができました。帰り道も自分たちのペースで進むことができ、快適でした。知識も豊富で、道中の説明も楽しかったです。次回もぜひお願いしたいガイドさんでした。

The mist wasn't very helpful. It might have been better if the mist was directed at the passengers. The guide's explanations were clear and good.

ミストが役だってなかった。ミストを乗客にあてる感じの方が良かったかもしれません。ガイドさんの説明は、分かりやすく良かったです。

Thank you very much for your assistance this time. Thanks to Mr. Katayama's guidance, I learned a lot about Kyoto's history, and my family and I were able to have a wonderful time together. Thank you very much.

この度は、大変お世話になりました。
片山さんに案内して頂き、京都の歴史をたくさんお話し頂き、とても勉強になりました。家族みんなで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
どうもありがとうございました。

Due to the season, the outdoor waiting times at various points were minimal, allowing us to conserve our energy. The breeze during the mangrove tour was pleasant, and traveling by water buffalo was enjoyable. There were two participants from our group, but for some reason, the others were all part of a tour group, leading to an early departure for the ferry and other activities. At the water buffalo riding area in Yufu, our two groups were left waiting until the very end without guidance, which was quite concerning.

季節柄、ポイントポイントでの屋外の待ち時間が少なくて体力が温存できました。
マングローブツアーの風が気持ちよいし、水牛での移動も楽しかったです。
こちらからのツアー参加者は、2人、2組で
なぜか他はツアー団体ご一行様と同じで、フェリーなど出発予定時間よりかなり早い出航となったり、由布での水牛乗り場では2組だけ最後の最後まで案内されなくて不安でしかありませんでした。

The driver's service was excellent. They listened to our wishes and provided accurate advice regarding what was feasible given our reservation times, indicating what was impossible and what could be done. Our entire family was able to enjoy a satisfying sightseeing experience in Kyoto. We were also impressed by their wealth of knowledge! We would like to request Mr. Katayama again next time. Thank you very much.

ドライバーさんの対応が大変良かったです。
私達の希望を聞いた上で、予約時間の都合上、無理な事は無理、ここは行けるなど、的確なアドバイスも頂き、家族全員、満足できる京都観光ができました。
知識豊富さにも驚きました‼️
次回も片山さんにお願いしたいです。
どうもありがとうございました。

The night walk seemed to be freely accessible (the sidewalks were illuminated), but since I was listening to the guide's explanations, it was educational, and I was able to see the highlights without missing anything. It felt a bit pricey, but I think it was worth participating.

夜間ウォークは自由に出来たようだった(歩道がライトアップされていた)が、ガイドの方の説明を聞きながらだったので勉強になったし、見所を逃さずしっかりと見ることが出来た。
若干割高な気もしたが参加して良かったと思った。

The scenery was beautiful, and the guide introduced us to many delicious places. We had a fun day. Thank you very much.

景色キレイだった、ガイドさんにたくさん美味しいところを紹介していただいた。楽しい一日を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

My elderly mother was with me, and she said she enjoyed it. During the journey, we were able to hear various stories, making it a very fulfilling tour.

高齢の母も一緒でしたが、楽しめたと言っていました。行く道中も、さまざまな話を聞けて、とても充実したツアーでした。

The date I initially wanted to book was fully booked, but when I inquired just in case, they were able to accommodate my reservation. Their response was very quick, and I was able to smoothly change my schedule, so I felt it was a good decision to book with Veltra even before participating.

The tour content was, of course, very satisfying. Since the itinerary did not include a stop at Taketomi Island, I would like to visit Taketomi Island next time I go.

最初に予約したかった日が満席だったのですが、ダメ元で問い合わせてみたところ、予約OKしていただき、またとても迅速な対応、スムーズに日程変更もできたので、参加する前からベルトラで申込みをしてよかったと思いました。
ツアー内容も、もちろんとても満足度の高い内容でした。竹富島へは寄らない内容だったので、次回行く時は竹富島へも行ってみたいと思いました。

The staff's guidance was smooth. The reception and the tour guide on the bus were great. The lunch bento was also delicious. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

スタッフさんの案内の流れがスムーズ。受付やバス車内の観光ガイドさんの対応が良かった。お昼のお弁当も美味しかった。最初から最後まで楽しめた。
